Jerry & Vonnie are excellent hosts - helped us find birding, mountain biking & hiking opportunities. The casita is a little small for an extended stay (we stayed for a month) but is excellent value. A breezeway with mature Mesquite trees between the house & casita keeps it very pleasant. Birds of many species, cottontail rabbits, mule deer - even a family of bobcats - visited. Vonnie leads excellent trail rides - but only for people who weigh less than 170 pounds (we chose Casa de Caballo partly for trail riding but only one of us met the weight limit). The ranch feels remote due to its excellent siting surrounded by natural vegetation and foothills of Santa Catalina mountains but is conveniently located next to a huge active adult retirement community & a only few miles from all types of shopping & services.

All I can do is rave about our stay at Casa de Caballo. Vonnie and Jerry, our hosts, are great, unpretentious people who make your stay special. The accommodations were perfect for us and the surroundings are beautiful. It is secluded and private. The casita is small but quaint with everything one would need for comfort and it is decorated beautifully. Great Tempurpedic king-sized bed. This is not the Ritz, but if you love animals, nature, and down-home great people who respect your privacy and yet make you feel like family, this is the place. We are already planning our next stay. It was that perfect.

If you are high maintenance, meaning you need constant fussing over, this may not be the place for you, as Jerry and Vonnie, perfect Hosts in our book, respect your privacy. So often, at a B&B, we often feel we are staying at someone’s home- here we had a separate Casita, private area of the patio complete with our own grill, patio table and chairs. The small Ranch, complete with horses, replete in a natural, sanctuary-like setting (birds galore!), where you could hike, stroll, sit and stare at the stars was the perfect place to just relax. We had a small kitchenette, stocked with coffeepot, dishes, pots, etc. Vonnie was there to add anything you needed….Upon arrival she gave us ‘gourmet’ quality fruit basket, coffee, breads, yogurt, eggs etc. so we were able to set our own schedule and make breakfast when we wanted. Oh – also provided was a great bottle of wine!! You could totally cook meals here- we purchased rotisserie chicken and steaks at the nearby grocery and grilled and microwaved veggies.Casita was spotless and bed Temporpedic – very comfortable. Direct TV and WI-FI.Restaurants nearby, 10 minutes, Tucson downtown, 20 mins or so. In closing, perfect Hosts - terrific stay - fantastic people!!!

My husband and I stayed in the Casita at Casa de Caballo for 11 nights, while exploring the Tucson area and the surrounding communities. Although this property is located behind an exclusive retirement community, there are many advantages for staying here. Most important are the hosts, Vonnie and Jerry Kauffman, who will do everything to make your stay comfortable. The king size bed was so comfortable, we actually slept more than we anticipated. Wi-Fi was also free. Our refrigerator was stocked to the brim with a variety of fruits, juices, yogurts, eggs, bread, etc. including coffee . The "one-butt-kitchen" has everything one needs to make a dinner, lunch or picnic. A BBQ grill is right outside the entry door, in the garden patio. Hikes can start at your front door or you can drive to many trail heads. Speaking of driving, this place is located off the Oracle Rd. behind Saddlebrooke (a retirement community) where you can dine at the several clubhouse restaurants for very modest prices and get good food or cocktails. It's a short trip to the Biosphere II research center and a longer one in the opposite direction to downtown Tucson. However, that didn't stop us from exploring Green Valley, or the Desert Museum, both a little more than an hour away. Shopping for groceries is along Oracle Rd, and includes a Trader Joes and Kroger grocery stores. We highly recommend a stay at Casa De Caballo, whether it's for a weekend get-away or a longer stay to explore the area.
